Publish iBook (photo album) to iWeb

Hi everyone I am a new MAC user and I thought the other day I read something about being able to use iPhoto to make a photo album and then publish it to your iWeb site.
I have a .mac account and I have already made a photo album and I would like to know the steps to publish it to a website I have made through iWeb.
Can someone help me with this?

I tried to implement photo albums using iweb and got a publishing error.

I tried to implement photo albums using iweb and got a publishing error. All was fine with my site until I added the photo album page. The software doesnt say what the error is exactly, only that it is a publishing error to my ftp
Exact message "There was an error communicating with the FTP server. Try again later, or check with your service provider."
If I reduce the albums inside to 1 then it seems to work but that takes away from the usefullness of multiple albums.
my iWeb version is 3.0.4 (601)

Publish your site to a folder on your hard drive to see if the publication will proceed successfully and open the site locally with your browser to confirm all of the alums are there and work. If they do try the following:
delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.

launch iWeb and try again.
If you're still not able to publish from iWeb to your server download and use the free Cyberduck to upload your website files to the server. Users have found that CD has been successful when iWeb had problems.

Is ilife any good at publishing simple photo galleries like iWeb/ mobile me used to be?

is ilife any good at publishing simple photo galleries like iWeb/ mobile me used to be?

As Roddy pointed out iWeb will still create album and/or photo pages that will work on the hosting server of your choice. These two pages are demos of that: Using an iWeb Album Page as an Alternative to MobileMe Galleries and Using an iWeb Photo Page as an Alternate to a MobileMe Gallery

Multiple photo albums in iWeb?

How can I create multiple photo albums in iWeb? When I simply pull albums from iPhoto to iWeb, the photos appear individually.

Updated to Firefox 3.6. My Photo Albums display properly on an iWeb site in Safari; they also previously did with the Firefox version I had updated from. However, the photo albums have disappeared now from my Photo Album page.

Apparently many people are having this problem but it isn't resolved for anyone. Is it Apple's problem or is it Firefoxe's -- and is this happening in IE too (we don't have IE here on our computers btw)
Since these are professionally-related photo albums it sure would be nice if this could be fixed pronto.

Problem publishing large photo albums

I'm using iWeb (iLife'08) to create several a photo gallery: there is a page with the gallery showing all the albums, and each album has 100 to 200 pictures. The albums were created in iPhoto and "inserted" into iWeb using iWeb's media tools.
Publishing to .Mac has been very frustrating: 1st time I created the entire site, with 10 albums (2000+ pictures all together) and a couple of regular text pages. When I tried to publish iWeb took forever, went into working in the background and eventually came back with an error about not being able to connect to .Mac and to check my internet connection. Needless to say I checked it and it was all good: able to login, plenty of iDisk space available, etc.
2nd time I decided to start with just one album in the gallery. This time it worked. I started adding (to iWeb) one album at a time and then publishing "changes". It takes some time but it works. However, if I change anything in one album (already published) and add a new album iWeb will again take forever just to come back with an error about the connection to .Mac.
is there a practical limit to the size of albums in iWeb? Should I use iPhoto directly to create a photo gallery in .Mac and use iWeb to link to it? What is the best way to use these tools to create a large photo gallery?

Keep it down to about 24 photos per album and 6 albums per page. You can always add more album pages and have an index page to get to them.

The removed photo albums in iWeb are not removed from my website.

I have removed a few photo albums from my web site in iWeb and added none. When uploading the changes to my website it still shows all the albums only the links of the removed albums are not valid any more.
How can I get the albums completely removed from my site via iWeb?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You are hosting your site on a MobileMe account, correct?
Try publishing the entire site with the File ➙ Publish Entire Site menu. If that doesn't clear out the old stuff from your web site try the following:
1 - close iWeb.
2 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
3 - go to your User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete the contents.
4 - reboot.
5 - launch iWeb and and try again.
Still if not cleared out publish the site to a folder on your hard drive and open the local copy with your browser to see if that shows the changes to the site.

I want to create a new photo album in iweb

Help!! I have forgotten how to create a new photo album in my albums page and cannot locate where to find out how. I don't want to just slide an album from iphoto to iweb, but want to use several photos from several iphoto libraries. I know it's simple, but arrrgh !!

Albums are created in iPhoto and then dragged onto the albums page template in iWeb.
Either that or create a page using a Photos template. See this page about the problems with the slideshow...

Disappearing Photo Albums in iWeb

I've seen so many posts on this topic here and elsewhere, but it never seems to be resolved. I had just added a new album to an iWeb created site this morning and though it was working correctly before this, now all of my albums are not showing up in every browser that I use, FF3, Safari and Chrome. I had had this problem with just the newest 1 out of 3 albums not showing up in just FF (showed up in other browsers...) a month back and then all of a sudden, it appeared and I was fine until today. ANY help would be appreciated. I really want this site up and running and iWeb, while easy to use, is quickly falling in my esteem for its reliability.

Adding photo albums to Iweb

I'm unsure of how to add a photo album to my Iweb. This is what I see. I'm on my About me page. On the right side mac already has 2 photo albums. I don't know how to add an album on there. I read some things in the other discussions about Idisk, but I see NOTHING in Idisk. Where does the photo album come from? Do I create one in Iphoto, save it to Idisk? But then after I save it how do I get it into the About me photo album?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please put step by step in SIMPLE terms! lol.
Thanks Amanda

Amanda:
The photo album comes from iPhoto. In iPhoto you can create a new album, name it and then add photos to it. Once that's done, go to iWeb, open the photo page layout and click on the Media button at the bottom. A new window will open with Audio, Photo and Movies sections. Click on the Photo and you'll seer the iPhoto library icon and any albums below it. Click on the album you want to add, select all the photos in it and drag them onto one of the photo place cards. That's it.

Lost photo album on iWeb

On my .Mac homepage I have two photo albums. The first, at http://homepage.mac.com/jnelms/PhotoAlbum2.html, I can locate and edit. The other, at http//web.mac.com/jnelms/iWeb/Site/HAG.html, I cannot locate, nor edit. If you have any suggestion where it is hiding, I would appreciate hearing from you.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7) 2 Mghz Intel, 2 GB RAM, 120GB HD

Thank you for the information, James. I did find the files in the location you mentioned; however, there does not appear to be any way to edit the captions under the pictures, as I need to do. There are two files for each picture, one labeled (for example) "DSCN0064.jpg" and another "DSCN0064_framed.png." The only place captions are shown is in the file "slideshow.html," which does show the entire slideshow, but does not permit editing. Any suggestions?

Download Photo Albums on iWeb?

The photos we have on our iWeb are able to be downloaded individually by people. I would like to be able to have the photo albums be downloaded as well, so that people do not have to download each photo individually.
Is this possible and, if so, how do I make that happen?
Thanks.

You can make up your album in a DTP application and export it as a PDF or use the freeware PDF Lab...
http://www.iconus.ch/fabien/products/pleng/pleng.html
Create a link to it on your iWeb page using "Link to: A file".
When visitors click this link the PDF will be downloaded to their desktop.

From memory I tried dragging a number of pictures over to the gallery page and tried to drop them on the page..once with and once without using the command key - as that's how I thought it was done. But it isn't. When I try help I can't seem to find answer though I have in the past. Can anyone help?

You can copy and paste an image gallery out of any of the pre-built template pages;

Dragging photo albums into iWeb

Hi. I'm trying to drag an iPhoto album into a albums page on iWeb but its not working. I've done this in the past and its worked fine so i know what to do, but it's just not working!
Please help.

What system are you running and what version of iWeb and iPhoto?
Try this basic troubleshooting fix:
delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
Click to view full size
launch iWeb and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder. Once the library folder is visible you'll be able to find the two files mentioned above and delete them.

Error message when I try to publish an iWeb photo album with audio to Mobileme:

I get the following error message when trying to publish a photo album with audio from iWeb to Mobileme. I've checked my account and I have plenty of available space on Mobileme and have logged in there.
An error occurred while publishing file “/private/var/folders/qg/qg-Qwo-82RWdDU+8ZNhusU+++TI/TemporaryItems/com.apple.i Web_9121_TEMP_344183369_3/sites/Site/Grand_Canyon_11_Slideshow_part_1_2_files/or iginal_2.jpg”. Try publishing again later.
Is there a problem with my photos or other content (I've added some songs to play in the slideshow)
Dan H.

First see if you can publish your site to a folder on your hard drive. You can select the folder by clicking on the site's folder in iWeb and using the Publish To: menu.
If that's successful try the following:
delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.

Why are most photos disappearing from albums in iWeb?

I'm having a problem with the photo albums on iWeb.
I drag a photo album from my iPhoto window in iWeb to the photo album web page and it becomes an album with slideshow capabilities. If I publish the site, everything appears fine. I save iWeb and exit.
Now if I open iWeb again, all three of the photo album pages still exist, but on each page, only four of the original photos remain. The albums are supposed to have 29 photos, 35 photos, and 46 photos total. Now they each show four.
I thought it was a fluke, so I added them all again including captions. Then I saved, closed and reopened iWeb. The photos in the web albums were gone again.
I'm using iLife '09 with the iPhoto that exists on my laptop, but all the source photos are located on a Mac Mini in my local network. Any ideas on why this is happening and how I can fix it?
Note that the complete album as uploaded to the actual website still exists and works great. But if I publish the changes, the album will disappear.
Thanks.

Look under "More like this" on the right of this page, specifically "Re: no photo selected"; the discussion there may be of help.
